I’ve been following The Angry Therapist for years! He is so raw, real, unfiltered and provides a vast amount of knowledge and wisdom. Love listening to his solo and guest episodes. He is always adding value!

I have shared countless episodes, quotes, notes, etc. with friends that are going through it or not. I can truly say your words, your work (not just content) has mended personal relationships and friendships alike. I absolutely love the transparency and rawness of all of your platforms. Hope to attend a retreat soon 🫶🏻

this has evolved into a "me" podcast..i get it but in the earlier podcasts the messages/therapy were great and now its kinda whiny...his fiancee has a better podcast

I love John’s wisdom and unfiltered raw real shares and experience. I don’t follow everyone but I enjoy his podcast shares and being on his email list. Very relevant to the conscious dating people and gives real world advice many don’t talk about. .

This podcast should be called “I’m just a guy… talking about myself… in a very unplanned manner… with nothing much to say.” The titles rarely align with anything he says…? And his advice …beyond generic. I kept listening for a while, trying to determine what it is that I’m missing, but nope. Not missing anything. Just another podcast with a guy speaking very poorly, with nothing -absolutely nothing profound to say- except all kinds of boring unimportant things about himself. Barf.

I discovered John on my route to inner peace Throughout his podcast he relates topics back to our normal lives and connections in order to make impact Casual over clinical

Thank you Jon. Your pod cast has helped me tremendously.

New follower/listener here but I love listening to them discuss all the topics! Fun to hear from the men’s perspective, especially since I have a husband who does not express himself ever! Learning a lot through these two! Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks John! Divorced about 3 years, have 3 girls, and was devastated. This podcast has helped me a lot. I fell off for a while and have tuned back in as I’m 4 years out from a separation/divorce and in a funk. Thanks again for what you do!

I love this podcast! I found it thru the “We Can Do Better” podcast which I also love!

Perfect pace, great topics. And an experience so similar to mine that I’ll listen to this from the start. I’m a new subscriber and I’ve heard about six episodes and I love it!

Great info. Was recommended by a friend after finding out my ex buddy was cheating with my spouse. Have learned a lot about myself and how to improve myself as I go through a divorce. Trying to act mature with a petty selfish semi-narc. Hoping to find myself again and come out of this stronger and a better person. Thank you!

This is a good show. I always gain a little something even if the topic is not relevant to me.

Absolutely fantastic series I keep up to date on regularly. Reminds me we’re all human and to always come back to my center.

There’s always something to learn or have reenforced with each episode. John is great by himself, even better with a guest. He keeps it real in all the ways. A good example to not worry about perfection, just bring quality information that is helpful. I feel bad singling out a guest, because they are all enjoyable , but Dr MC McDonald needs to be on more! I get so much from John & MC together. I loved when you ran the trauma tapes.

The intro to the show says it all. Fun, insightful and easy to apply to my every day life.

Men, if you want healthy relationships this is the podcast for you

Hard to listen when there is consistent interrupting of the guests.

Not loving the therapy sessions. Seems like trying to replicate Esther Perel’s sessions on her podcast. Getting to far away from angry therapist “therapy in a shot glass” that we all love. These therapy sessions are too long without anything to enlightening in them.

I read one of john’s books about how to be single, in it i learned that he was miserable but then bought a motorcycle, joined crossfit and became a life coach. A year ago I listened to the podcast where he talked about joining crossfit, getting a motorcycle and becoming a life coach. Then his new book came out with his wife where he detailed joining crossfit, getting a motorcycle snd becoming a life coach. I stopped listening until just the other night I figured I would try again but I’m not kidding, the episode was about joining crossfit, getting a motorcycle and becoming a life coach. Ive done crossfit, I have a motorcycle and career, those things are ok but they arent at the root of my issues and dont help me in a meaningful way(beyond making me money and keeping me fit) and I would say that if crossfit changed your life you weren't that messed up to begin with.

I love the both of you In totally different ways!! I could write a book on the complexity of your awesome relationship advice and how it has been a breath of fresh air to me! My only constructive criticism is to slow down your talking! Ha, ha! I know you both have so much info inside of you but it often comes off as aggressive and makes listening a bit difficult. Otherwise love the podcast! Still 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Could not resonate whatsoever with this guy. Some people in his audience were actually also therapists? Yikes! Big no thanks!!

Love when he has short episodes that get right to the point. Like the chapters in his books. Also worth playing a drinking game by taking a shot every time he says “flow state” or “drop into your body” or “hugging canyons”. You’ll be tipsy in 15 minutes! :)

Can’t hear it, awful.

I probably should have known from the branding of "the Angry Therapist" that he wasn't for me. Let's focus on the pros as you might love him. I do find he chooses great topics and pieces that are important to any health journey, so there's definite value there especially if you are new to therapy or personal growth. I also find he has great tools and exercises such as write yourself a letter from your future self. He also seems to have a claim pleasant voice. I just find his approaches to things are a bit too much on the negative side. I'm all for realism and vulnerability but I found a lot of his examples and mantras to putting negative messages in my head that weren't there before. If you're coming from a darker place than me, you might love him. I hope he finds the people that needs him most.

Great podcast but way too much lip smacking, gulping etc coming through the mic. It was too distracting for me to continue.

John has played a pivotal role in my healing journey (which started from rock bottom in December 2021). I was recommended “It’s not me, it’s you,” and then found the podcast after. The top three reasons I love this podcast: 1. He is unapologetically himself—coffee sipping and all. He also talks about the fact that he doesn’t do any production and so it’s very unpolished. 2. I went all the back to episode 1 and have started listening to his earlier episodes, and I very much appreciate that he is consistent. He is not wishy-washy going with what ever is trendy in the psych world. He has kept the same mentality about many things, but also acknowledges when he’s changed. 3. I love his anecdotal approach. He is not on a high horse, he’s sharing that he’s still a work in progress. Also from John I’ve found Vanessa

If you must drink something during the 30 mns it takes to record, why not cut out the sounds? I’ll think it cut out then hear that terrible gulp sound in my headphones then a loud sharp lip smack. Why??

i’ve been listening to john since 2018, i’ve grown into a better person and partner with his insight guiding me. i made a huge life decision to end a long term relationship with my then boyfriend in 2018 because we just weren’t on the same page and john helped me realize that love is not a contract. there are no guarantees. i lived a life of grabbing and no boundaries. i pointed fingers. i had no ability to take accountability for the role i played in expired relationships and didnt know what attachment styles were. my early relationship blueprint came from my parents and i thought that was the holy grail so when i found partners that didnt fit that mold i forced and manipulated and guilt tripped , & i let things slide and abandoned myself bc to me love was unconditional and somewhere along the way i learned love meant saving others at the expense of yourself. John helped me realize i had some deep work to do, & so did my partner and we needed to part ways and grow. in 2020, i introduced my (ex) partner to Angry, & we worked our way back to center using johns tools & our personal recovery work with therapists etc. to be better for ourselves and eachother. while we form our own opinions and implement it in the ways that work for us, we consider what John says pretty heavily. communication, loving without our past, swimming past the breakers, getting out of our heads and into our bodies, choosing one another daily.. it’s helped to where we are now.. life partners choosing to do life with one another not around, who also happen to be married now. i tell everyone about the angry therapist. john, you dont know me, but you have changed my life and i am forever a loyal listener. thank you for your work.

Topics are OK and podcast is OK, as long as you don’t mind lip smacking, sipping beverages, and other mouth sounds in your ear and can get through a whole episode.

agree. binge listening in a shot glass and speaking with you instead of at you.

There is clear care and effort in messages that he produces. Yet a lot of the audio production needs desperate work. A few afternoons learning to use audacity or another audio editing platform would fix a lot of the small things. A pop filter, and an inexpensive microphone would fix the other.

Every episode has been a timely input into my life. Thank you for sharing your insights, revelations and the rich conversations. I am grateful.

The podcasts themselves are good, what makes them tough to listen to is the constant slurping and swallowing of his drink…

Ads in the middle of a sentence is distracting.

I think the John Kim is very unique in his down to earth, concise approach to therapy, and seems to have a genuine interest in getting to the root of people’s problems. However, the lip smacking, sipping drinks etc is super distracting and takes away from concentrating on the message he is trying to convey.

talk about arrogance and entitlement…this guy thinks he has something to offer…he’s wrong…

Love this podcast, recently discovered this package of wisdom and transparency. I very much value and appreciate the honest and real approach to being a man, a husband, a father, a human. This podcast will help everyone both with themselves and with their relationships, regardless of gender. There are several complaints about the ads.. I don’t see the ads as a distraction or hinderance, I see them as a necessary component of providing valuable content at our fingertips.. free to us. Things worth having don’t come easy.. sit through the ads. It’s worth it.

As a therapist … this is fantastic! Honest and contemplative fuel for your headspace.

I love the Angry Therapist podcast. I listen to them as soon as they come out. He is funny and also very real with his observations.

Way too many ads, and since most of them are spoken by John himself, it interrupts the flow of content more so than if it were an ad spoken by someone else. It’s like wait, what was he talking about? What does this have to do with….oh, it’s an ad. And then another. And then another. Followed by another. 😩

Content is good, format needs work. Please differentiate between content and ads. It’s confusing and feels tricky.

I love this podcast but soooooooo many commercials.

I am a veteran counselor of over 20 years and just stumbled upon this podcast. How refreshing! I love the authenticity of this podcast and author. In the world we live in, this is a succinct injection of applicable support and reality checks! Thanks so much!

This show is really my favorite way to start my day. Love not only the short episodes, but hearing your conversations with Vanessa. Thank you for all you do!!

Love the content and have no issues with commercials on podcasts but the way this one will cut to a commercial mid word is so jarring and unsettling I unsubscribed. His books and Instagram are still great and highly recommended.

Love the podcast. Helpful and thoughtful. Do not mind the adds. However; I *cannot wait* for this tangent with your partner to be over. Please consider this as a separate podcast. I cannot get through a full episode when you’re both on together and is definitely not what I’m interested in (your relationship).

Skip all the ads. First 4 minutes are commercials. I love the dynamic between him and Vanessa.

I really want to like this podcast. The content is pretty good and I appreciate his relaxed, “with you not at you” attitude, but the ads just kill my enjoyment. Not just at the beginning and end of the podcast, but spliced awkwardly in the middle, practically interrupting him mid-sentence. Sorry, John, there’s too much other good stuff out there to waste my time.
